<邻区守望>英文版张贴於伊利诺州诗人协会网页,2013年4月

Neighborhood Watch
by William Marr

under the reign of fears and suspicions
guns stare out the darkened windows
their twinkling sights
all aim at the deep hollow eye
of the insomniac night

Don't Move!

on the screen
Hollywood's heroes
engage in a ferocious fight
bullets streaking in the air
chant on and on and on
the sacred 2nd Amendment

soon the siren will sound
a mother's wail


本诗中文版:

邻区守望

弥漫着猜忌与恐惧
黑暗的窗口
怯怯伸出的枪
准星闪铄
齐齐瞄准
失眠的夜
空洞深沉的


别动!

荧光屏上
好莱坞的英雄们
激战正酣
空中巡逻的子弹
正尖声来回诵读
神圣的
第二修正案

很快警笛将鸣起
一个母亲凄厉的哀号

附注: 美国宪法第二修正案保障人民拥有枪枝的权利

That's sarcastic. Here is today's news "Boy, 4, accidentally kills Tenn. deputy's wife"
